I have both drone and controller turned on, but the controller does not want to connect to the drone. How do I get the controller to connect to the drone?
If your Holy Stone HS175D drone isn't pairing with the controller, check if you're following the correct pairing procedure, ensure both the drone and controller are powered on properly, and verify that the batteries in both devices are adequately charged; if the issue persists, try a factory reset on the drone by following the instructions in your user manual.
Here are a few steps to try to pair your HS175D:
Power on both devices:
Turn on the drone and the controller completely.
Enter pairing mode:
Most drones require you to put them into a pairing mode by holding down a specific button on the drone for a few seconds, which will usually be accompanied by flashing lights.
Initiate pairing on the controller:
Consult your manual for the exact steps, but typically, you need to perform a specific joystick movement on the controller to initiate pairing.
Check for confirmation:
Once paired, the lights on both the drone and controller should stop flashing and become solid.
Potential issues to check:
Battery levels: Low battery in either the drone or controller can disrupt pairing.
Interference: Make sure there are no other strong radio signals nearby that could interfere with the pairing process.
Incorrect pairing sequence: Double-check the exact pairing steps in your user manual.
Faulty hardware: If none of the above solutions work, there could be a problem with the drone or controller itself, and you might need to contact customer support for further assistance.
